OBS to NBS
Hey guys, dont shoot me! I usually hang out in the OBS 7.3 forum, but I came over here to see what you all had to say.
I have searched, but didn't seem to find what i am looking for. I am a proud owner of 2 OBS psd's, but am considering selling one to go to a NBS. How many have done this and would you do it again? I am happy with the truck, but i think i have a screaming deal on the NBS and the crew cab (vs ext cab) would be great. Thanks for your thoughts.

The ONLY thing I don't like about a CC is you cannot reach the rear slider window from the driver's seat.
You have to get out and open the rear door to open or close it.
Everything else is great.
I love the extra room and the long wheel base is a complete non-issue for me.

A little pricey, but I share in your frustration.

It reality, the differences are more creature comforts (especially with the 02/03 models), but the 7.3L is pretty much the same, and with mods, they are mostly equally capable. There are differences in things like brake size & suspension as well, so if towing/hauling capacities are an issue, the SD will also work better for you there as well...

I have heard that a bunch. Going through the pros and cons over the past few days, I think the only way for me to move to the NBS would be for a screaming deal on a perfect truck. I am pretty happy with my 2 OBS's.

I've heard it as well. Not to be argumentative, but why? Newer, more refined truck, bigger brakes, better interior, better hauling/towing capacities...... I loved my '84 convertible Mustang GT as well (especially after swapping the 351W/C6 into it!), but I wouldn't go back to one.
Just curious.......

My towing truck is a 1997, F350, PSD, 5 spd, ext cab dually and I love it and am very happy with it. But, I thought a good deal had come up on a 02 NBS crew cab. So, I was looking into the new style because it was newer and a crew cab. The new truck did not turn out to be a good deal as there was too much wrong with it for the money.
I have another OBS that is a 1997, CC, 250, 4x4, PSD, auto that I like, so the cab is not of extreme importance, but would have been nice if the NBS truck had been a good deal.
